Topic: HOWTO: create a 100% secure wallet - page 34. (Read 276221 times)
if you use a live cd you will need to download all the blocks each time, right? Can you explain how do you deal with that? Thanks
What's the point, if wallet is already encrypted with password?
Great tips! Thanks!
Wow a lot of steps...
Very helpful, thanks.
great topic, keep it up
thanks
The way I see it there's no 100% secure wallet, but following the steps you suggest is going to get pretty close to that.
My friend gave me 5BTC on a USB, and walked me through the process of installing wallet software and importing the wallet to the compter. If I delete everything associated with bitcoin on the computer and only keep the USB, does that count as a cold offline storage wallet? As far as I know, it is the only copy of the wallet in existance.
No, with a true cold wallet, the private keys have never touched an online computer, ever. As soon as they do, it becomes a hot wallet (because the online computer could be compromised, even if the chance of that is fairly low).
Increasing the level of security increases the level of inconvenience. Choose wisely,

I found the information here to be really useful. I personally have chosen to have a paper wallet as well as a brain wallet.
